Bongani Bingwa speaks to Nigel Beck, Head of Sustainable Finance and ESG at RMB, about the evolving landscape of transition finance — the bridge between today’s carbon-heavy economy and a greener, more inclusive future. As global leaders wrap up the B20 Energy Mix & Just Transition Task Force, Beck explains that while green finance is now widely understood, transition finance remains the missing link in helping Africa move toward net zero without leaving communities behind. He unpacks the key outcomes from the G20 discussions, the challenges of scaling up investment, and how banks like RMB are developing innovative financing models to support industries in shifting responsibly. The conversation also explores what makes a credible transition strategy — from Paris Agreement alignment and socio-economic inclusion to transparent reporting — highlighting how financial institutions can drive sustainable growth while ensuring a just transition for all. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Heute geht es um ein Getränk, das für viele von uns tägliches Ritual, Leidenschaft & Genussmittel zugleich ist: Kaffee. Doch Kaffee ist nicht nur Kultur, sondern auch ein sensibles Wirtschaftsgut – & aktuell stark unter Druck. 50 % der weltweiten Kaffeeanbaugebiete sind bereits von den Folgen des Klimawandels bedroht. Rund 12,5 Millionen Farmer weltweit bauen Kaffee an – & ihre Existenz hängt davon ab, dass Anbau & Handel zukunftsfähig gestaltet werden. Darüber sprechen wir mit Pablo von Waldenfels von Tchibo. Tchibo gehört zu den großen Kaffeeeinkäufern weltweit & bezieht jedes Jahr etwa 180.000 Tonnen Kaffee. Mit dem 2024 gestartetem Kaffeeprogramm will das Unternehmen mehr Transparenz schaffen, die Farmer aktiv einbinden & Verantwortung im Kaffeehandel neu denken. Schon jetzt sind 20 % des Programms umgesetzt – ein wichtiger Schritt, aber auch nur der Anfang eines langen Prozesses. Wir reden über die Rolle von Zertifizierungen & Partnern wie Enveritas, über Innovationen im Anbau, die Chancen der Forschung & über die Verantwortung, die auch wir Konsument:innen tragen. Ein Gespräch über die Zukunft des Kaffees – & darüber, wie wir alle dazu beitragen können, dass er auch morgen noch genossen werden kann. Pablo von Waldenfels ist Hamburger & Director Corporate Responsibility bei Tchibo. Er ist seit über 15 Jahren im Bereich Nachhaltigkeit & Sustainable Finance aktiv. Zuvor war er u.a. bei PwC & als Berater für die GIZ tätig, mit Stationen in Lateinamerika, Afrika & Asien. Er hat Wirtschafts- & Sozialwissenschaften an der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg studiert.

In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Melissa Fifield, Head of the BMO Climate Institute, and John Uhren, Managing Director of Sustainable Finance at BMO Capital Markets, reflect on what they saw and heard at Climate Week New York and the trends that will drive sustainable business and investment in the future. “A phrase I heard a lot throughout New York Climate Week was around climate pragmatism, being eyes wide open around what needs to happen for sustainability to be properly characterized and prioritized by different businesses,” said Uhren. “When you focus on the pragmatic parts, the efficiency gains of looking at things like EV drivetrains over combustion engines, for example, or heat pumps over boilers, these all make commercial sense for a business.”

Will COP30 be the COP of ‘implementation'? And what would that actually mean? Beyond the famous negotiating halls, climate action is already happening. Businesses, investors and cities are driving real change, and the new green economy is rising in tandem with diplomacy.So can Belém mark the moment when implementation promises turn into reality? This week, Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith explore the COP ‘Action Agenda' - the broad range of voluntary climate action that mobilises the private sector, regional governments and civil society. Plus, they consider the extraordinary transformation already reshaping global energy systems and the flow of capital worldwide.Paul and Fiona hear from leading voices who explore how the real economy is accelerating climate action - from boardrooms and bond markets to start-ups across Latin America. Contributing are Marina Grossi, COP30 Special Envoy for the Private Sector; Aniket Shah, Global Head of ESG and Sustainable Finance at Jefferies; Sue Reid, Senior Advisor at Global Optimism; and Daniel Gajardo, Chilean entrepreneur and co-founder of Reciprocal. Together, they outline what to look for this November in Brazil, and ask how we can tell when implementation is truly happening - not just promised.Learn more:

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of Climate Confident, I sit down with Emily Wilkinson, Principal Research Fellow at ODI Global and Director of the Resilient and Sustainable Islands Initiative (RESI), to explore one of the most pressing and least discussed frontlines of the climate crisis: small island developing states (SIDS).These 39 nations, scattered across the Caribbean, Pacific and Indian Ocean, contribute less than 1% of global emissions yet face the most existential threats, from rising seas and saltwater intrusion to increasingly frequent Category 5 hurricanes. Emily explains why Dominica's 2017 disaster, damage equivalent to 226% of its GDP, was a turning point, sparking its bold ambition to become the world's first climate-resilient nation.We also dive into the financial side of resilience. Emily outlines groundbreaking tools such as climate-resilient debt clauses, debt-for-nature swaps, and pooled insurance schemes, innovations that give vulnerable economies breathing space after disasters. She shares examples of islands turning challenges into opportunities, like converting invasive sargassum seaweed into clean biogas, deploying floating solar in lagoons, and tapping geothermal energy beneath volcanic islands.We discuss the Bridgetown Initiative spearheaded by Mia Mottley, which is reshaping global climate finance debates, and how small island leaders are punching above their weight on the international stage.If you want to understand why SIDS are both the most vulnerable and the most innovative actors in the climate fight, and what their experiments can teach the rest of us, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Listen now to hear how small islands are rewriting the rules of resilience.Also check out Emily's podcast - Small Islands, Big PicturePodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Send me a messageWhen people think about tackling the climate crisis, they often talk about energy, food, or transport. But what about money? In this week's episode of Climate Confident, I sat down with Scott Ryan, founder and CEO of Investature, to unpack one of the biggest blind spots in corporate climate strategies, the financial supply chain.Scott argues that pensions, retirement savings, and even our everyday bank accounts may be the largest single drivers of greenhouse gas emissions for many organisations, often dwarfing their direct operations and traditional Scope 3 supply chains. He explained how most retirement funds are still heavily invested in fossil fuels and high-pollution industries, even though those assets will almost certainly become stranded as the world pushes for net zero.The numbers are staggering. Globally, pensions account for over $100 trillion. Redirecting just 1% of that towards climate solutions would close a third of the climate finance gap, enough to massively accelerate the transition in energy, mobility, agriculture, and adaptation. Yet most companies and individuals remain unaware of the scale of this leverage.We explored why financial supply chains have been overlooked in frameworks like TCFD and GRI, and why leading employers are now beginning to integrate sustainable retirement options into their benefits. Scott also shared practical steps individuals can take, such as shifting to green banks, exploring climate-positive ETFs, or pushing employers to offer sustainable pension plans.This is not just about risk management; it's about turning finance into a genuine engine for climate solutions. If you've ever wondered how your savings could work for or against the planet, this episode will give you a fresh lens on climate action.Podcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we're talking with Rebecca Mikula-Wright, CEO of the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC). The networks represent trillions of dollars of assets under management globally. AIGCC is a network of institutional investors in Asia focused on mitigating climate risks and seizing net-zero opportunities. Its parent organization is IGCC, a network for Australian and New Zealand investors to understand and respond to the risks and opportunities of climate change.   Rebecca explains how members across both networks are evolving their approaches to climate, nature and the energy transition.   "We do see this continued support for the transition because investors have done the work. They've been assessing their portfolios. They understand that climate risk is investment risk,” she tells us.  Rebecca discusses how mandatory climate disclosure in markets like Australia and New Zealand are changing the landscape. And she talks about the importance of policy and regulation, which she calls the “biggest game-changer” when it comes to increasing the pace of decarbonization.   The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

Throughout almost 100 episodes of the Good Future podcast we've traced the evolution of the sustainable investment sector. But now we're entering a new era of sustainable finance, where climate risk reporting, impact measurement and climate-tech innovation have become core parts of investment management. Sustainable investing has matured, and that's in large part due to a global push to define precisely what it means to be ‘sustainable', with a huge contribution being made by the development of sustainable finance taxonomies all over the world. Last month we saw the launch of Australia's very own Taxonomy, and today we're joined by the perfect guest to help us make sense of it all., and that's Linda Romanovska. She helps us understand why it's important, how we can use it, and how it compares and interacts with other global models. Linda is a global taxonomy expert, she's contributed to the development of sustainable finance taxonomies in the EU, South Asia and right here in Australia. At the same time she's worked as a senior sustainable finance advisor working with boutique consultancies as well as the Big4. And if that's not enough to keep her busy, she's also doing a PHD exploring the intersection of nature and sustainable finance. I learned so much in this episode, and I hope you do too. Linda's insights are really practical, breaking down the nature of a taxonomy within the global context, highlighting sectors where it has the potential to make an impact, and, how it fits within the broader sustainable finance roadmap in Australia. Also, we've produced a One-page Taxonomy FIELD GUIDE. Outlining the key opportunities of aligning a portfolio with the Australian framework, and how it compares globally.Find it on my website at www.Johntreadgold.com While you're there you can find all the show notes for the episode, and you can sign up for my newsletter where I share regular impact insights, plus, you'll be the first to know about new podcast episodes as they drop.

Sarah Lalor, General Manager ESG and Sustainable Finance at Commonwealth Bank Australia (CBA) explains the bank’s multi-pronged approach to supporting businesses at every stage of their sustainability journeys. It’s a wonderful case study of how one organisation can multiply its ESG impact by influencing the organisations it supports. In conversation with Ashurst’s Elena Lambros, Sarah takes us on a whistle-stop tour of CBA’s strategy to assist businesses of all sizes. They discuss how SMEs and mid-market businesses are shifting from what Sarah describes as a “curiosity mindset” to an “action mindset”. This is being driven through a combination of: Savings including lower energy bills Enablers such as CBA’s asset finance for energy-efficient equipment, solar and EVs for businesses of all sizes, Green Loans and Sustainability-Linked Loans for larger businesses Expectations from investors, and procurement requirements from larger businesses that are subject to new mandatory climate-related disclosures. While acknowledging the challenge for small businesses to devote time to ESG strategy, Sarah emphasises the proven commercial rewards of doing so. She also explains how Sustainability-Linked Loans work and she illustrates the value of the ‘S’ in ESG (e.g. social outcomes such as employee wellbeing). Sarah and Elena highlight some industries that are embracing sustainable finance, such as hospitality, retirement living and aged care, and commercial property. And they welcome the sustainable finance taxonomy which promises to bring greater consistency and confidence in the market. They also emphasise the commercial benefits for small businesses that don’t wait, but instead seize the initiative. As Sarah points out, SMEs that go beyond compliance and really embrace ESG now can access new markets, win more contracts and tenders, and be more attractive propositions for customers and potential employees alike.

How are corporate leaders navigating the changing sustainability landscape? To help answer that question, the All Things Sustainable podcast has launched CSO Insights, a new miniseries that brings listeners interviews with Chief Sustainability Officers across industries and around the world.  Today we're talking with Luanne Sieh, Group Chief Sustainability Officer at CIMB Group, one of Malaysia's largest banks.   Luanne says CIMB takes a "holistic" view of climate, nature, human rights and economic inclusion. She outlines the bank's 2030 emissions reduction targets for six priority sectors, including palm oil — an important contributor to Malaysia's GDP and a significant part of CIMB's portfolio.   "We are one of the largest financiers of palm oil globally," Luanne says. "We think that our role here is to really reshape the industries and the clients, or help to reshape them — and not to retreat from them."  Listen to the first episode of our CSO Insights series: CSO Insights: How sustainability pullback is playing out in Southeast Asia | S&P Global  Listen to our podcast interview with big Malaysian pension fund Employees Provident Fund (EPF): Why one of Southeast Asia's largest pension funds is 'doubling down' on sustainability | S&P Global  Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1 about companies' nature risks and dependencies: How the world's largest companies depend on nature and biodiversity | S&P Global  Read our research about the costs of climate physical risk: For the world's largest companies, climate physical risks have a $1.2 trillion annual price tag by the 2050s | S&P Global  The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

If you work in sustainability, you know that 2025 has been a time of upheaval in many parts of the world. At the All Things Sustainable podcast, we want to understand how sustainability leaders are handling the changing landscape. So this week, we're launching a new miniseries where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers across industries and around the world.    We're kicking off our CSO Insights series by sitting down with Eric Lim, the Chief Sustainability Officer at United Overseas Bank (UOB), one of the largest banks headquartered in Singapore. We'll be back later this week with more interviews with CSOs at Southeast Asian banks.   Eric says UOB is “obsessed with supporting the client decarbonization and transition journeys,” while also emphasizing the importance of a just transition. He tells us how initiatives like the Singapore Sustainable Finance Association, where he's a convening member, are working to simplify the topic of nature for financial institutions. And he explains how countries like Singapore are incorporating adaptation and resilience measures into the built environment.  “What we see with our clients is — even though there is globally perhaps a bit of this pullback from sustainability, a bit of greenhushing — that our clients simply continue to invest in low-carbon or green business models that they know make commercial sense,” Eric says.   Listen to our recent podcast episode How sustainability professionals are weathering challenging times  Listen to our recent interview with the CEO of Climate Risk & Resilience at global insurance group Howden Why insurance is becoming central to climate risk conversations  Learn about S&P Global Sustainable1's Nature & Biodiversity dataset.  The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we bring you the latest in our special series featuring major pension funds around the world.     We sit down with Shahida Jaffar, Head of Corporate Sustainability at Malaysia's Employees Provident Fund (EPF). EPF was established in 1951 to safeguard the retirement future of the Malaysian workforce; it reported about 1.31 trillion Malaysian ringgit (US$310 billion) in total investment assets and more than 16 million members as of June 30, 2025.  In the interview, Shahida explains EPF's evolving sustainable investment strategy; the role nature plays in the organization's approach to sustainability; and how the pension fund balances priorities — like the need for returns, net-zero commitments and ensuring that the energy transition is just.   “In the market right now, there's polarization in terms of those who are pursuing sustainability even stronger and those who are pulling back,” Shahida tells us.   “In the case of EPF, we're doubling down.”  Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1 about companies' nature risks and dependencies: How the world's largest companies depend on nature and biodiversity | S&P Global  Learn about S&P Global Sustainable1's Nature & Biodiversity dataset.  Listen to our podcast interview with Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM): Why the world's largest asset owner is leaning into ESG | S&P Global  The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we bring you the first of a special series featuring major pension funds around the world.   We sit down in Mexico City, Mexico with Alejandro Bújanos, Head of Sustainable Investing at Afore SURA. This is one of the largest pension funds in Mexico and a subsidiary of SURA Asset Management. Alejandro outlines how the pension fund seeks to drive Mexico's transition to a low-carbon economy by engaging with major national companies. "We believe that we need to be active owners and actually improve the countries where we're living," Alejandro says. "My main challenge is how to transition our portfolio to a low-carbon economy, and, while doing that, also have an impact in the real economy."  Alejandro highlights the role that collaborative initiatives play in the market. Earlier this year, Afore SURA and other financial institutions in Mexico launched one such initiative,  called MxColab, to engage with major Mexican companies on issues like climate change.  "These very big companies that have been here for a long time ... it's hard to change them," he says. "Pulling investors together might be the only way to have a substantial enough size for these very big owners to actually listen to what you're asking from them."  Learn about S&P Global Commodity Insights' Energy Transition services.  Explore how companies are approaching sustainability via S&P Global Sustainable1's Corporate Sustainability Assessment data.  The All Things Sustainable podcast from S&P Global will be an official media partner of The Nest Climate Campus during Climate Week NYC.

The power grid in North America, which is already complex, is seeing demand rise for low-cost and emissions-free electricity. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Stephen Uwazota, Director of Sustainable Finance and Clean Energy at BMO, discusses ways in which long-term energy storage solutions can help improve grid resilience. His guest on the show, Curtis VanWalleghem, CEO of Hydrostor, has an innovative and cost-effective approach to the solution--advanced compressed air energy storage. All it takes is air, rocks, and water. 

In this episode, Paul Moody interviews Clare Brook, a veteran of 24 years in sustainable finance who now leads Blue Marine Foundation. In their conversation Clare reflects on her journey from managing ESG funds and co-founding an investment firm to running an NGO dedicated to protecting the blue planet.   Clare and Paul dive into innovative ways finance can accelerate marine conservation. They discuss cutting-edge mechanisms like blue bonds and debt-for-nature swaps that can funnel significant funding to ocean protection in countries that need it most . Clare also introduces the idea of biodiversity credits, a new tool for valuing restored ecosystems and attracting investment into projects from seagrass meadows to coral reefs . She explains how blending public, private, and philanthropic capital can help scale these solutions, even as she acknowledges the challenges of aligning investor expectations with conservation realities.    Finally, Clare leaves listeners with an urgent yet hopeful call to action: finance professionals have a pivotal opportunity to drive meaningful impact in this space. Whether it's backing transformative marine projects or simply using their influence to raise awareness.

What does it look like when billion-dollar funds put impact at the core of their investment strategy?In this 3-in-1 compilation episode, we revisit conversations with investors managing tens of billions across public fixed income, public equities, private equity, and impact-focused real estate. Each one makes the case that environmental and social outcomes aren't a tradeoff – but a source of lasting value and market-beating returns.Meet the leaders turning billions into measurable impact:Michele Giddens, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridges Fund ManagementBridges was launched in 2002 with £40 million – including just £10 million in catalytic capital. Today, it manages over £2 billion across private equity, impact real estate, and outcomes contracts. From the start, its mission has been to invest in solutions that drive both a more inclusive economy and a more sustainable planet – ideally, both at once. Michele describes their theory of change simply: addressing systemic social and environmental challenges isn't a tradeoff – it's a way to unlock high-performing markets. Whether it's converting inefficient office buildings into low-carbon co-living hubs or financing housing solutions for marginalized youth, Bridges targets overlooked problems with market-driven solutions.Full episodeBen Dear, Founder and CEO of Osmosis Investment ManagementOsmosis was built on a simple but overlooked idea: companies that generate more economic value while using less carbon, water, and waste will outperform. Ben believed resource efficiency wasn't just good for the planet – it could be a consistent, data-driven investment factor.He was right. Today, Osmosis manages over $17 billion in global public equity strategies, all powered by their own proprietary environmental data. They collect and standardize metrics across carbon, water, and waste – giving them a lens on corporate performance that most investors miss.Their low-risk flagship targets just 0.5–1% above benchmark returns – yet still outperforms two-thirds of global equity funds on Morningstar. Their higher-alpha strategies deliver 2–3% annually, while cutting portfolio footprints by up to 70%.Check out the full interview: Part 1Part 2Stephen M. Liberatore, Head of ESG and Impact for Global Fixed Income at NuveenNuveen manages just over $1 trillion globally – and Steve oversees more than $20 billion of that in ESG and impact-focused public fixed income, across 38 distinct funds.While most associate impact with private markets, Steve has built one of the world's largest impact bond strategies by focusing on public debt. His theory of change is rooted in scale: in 2023, public fixed income financed over $800 billion in climate transition – ten times more than private equity and venture combined.Every security in Steve's portfolios must deliver a direct, measurable environmental or social outcome. That means no sustainability-linked bonds with vague KPIs. Instead, the team targets use-of-proceeds instruments that reduce financing costs for projects like clean energy, affordable housing, and ecosystem restoration – while delivering market-rate returns.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

Farmers need to be very wary about the threat finance taxonomy from the Centre for Sustainable Finance poses to the primary sector. So says one of our leading rural academics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're taking listeners on a whistlestop tour of several big summer events in Europe that will shape sustainability discussions on the road to COP30, the UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil in November 2025.  We cover key outcomes from the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France — including progress toward a Marine Biodiversity Treaty.  We talk to Beth Burks, Director on the Sustainable Finance Markets team at S&P Global Ratings, about her takeaways from annual climate meetings in Bonn, Germany.   “If COP is like the big show every year, then Bonn is the dress rehearsal,” Beth explains.   Beth also shares highlights from London Climate Action Week, which in 2025 grew significantly to include more than 700 events and more than 45,000 attendees.   In the episode we also speak to Tom Beloe, Director of the Sustainable Finance Hub at the UN Development Programme, or UNDP. Tom shares big takeaways from the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, or FFD4, in Sevilla Spain. The conference took place for the first time in a decade this summer and centered around financing for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs.   A unifying theme across all these events is the importance of multilateralism to address sustainability challenges that transcend borders, like climate change, nature loss and ocean conservation. Across these events, we also hear about the rising role the private sector plays in addressing and financing solutions to these challenges.   “I think we're seeing over the last 10 years a very much increasing trend of private sector participation,” Tom tells us. “Frankly, the discussions of finance that happen in these conferences are a little bit meaningless if we're not also convening with the largest financial institutions in the world.”  Learn about Climate Transition Assessments from S&P Global here.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we take the show on the road to Singapore, where S&P Global Sustainable1 hosted its annual summit June 26. We sit down with leaders from the sustainable agriculture, banking and technology sectors to unpack key sustainability challenges and opportunities facing diverse Asia-Pacific markets. We discuss decarbonization technologies with Manish Pant, Executive Vice President of International Operations at Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric is a French multinational focused on electrification, automation and digitization that was just named the world's most sustainable company by TIME and data firm Statista.     Manish explains how the company is working with clients to decarbonize and electrify at scale in a way that also prioritizes energy access, security and affordability. He characterizes the current moment as "the golden period for the Global South.”    “The demographic momentum, the focus on renewables as well as a lot of infrastructure development is what characterizes this part of the world,” he says. “The challenge and the opportunity that we have is we are going to be building a lot.”    We also speak with Kavickumar Muruganathan, Microsoft's ESG Planning Director for Asia Pacific, Cloud Operations and Innovation, to understand how one of the world's largest technology companies is thinking about developing AI; its use cases for sustainability; and how the company is developing data centers in the region.     We sit down with Justin Ma, Executive Director of Sustainable Finance at Standard Chartered Bank, to talk about trends in sustainable finance and the continued momentum he sees in Asia-Pacific markets.     And we explore how the agriculture sector is balancing food security, access and affordability while also improving the sustainability of agricultural practices in an interview with Nikita Asthana. Nikita is Head of Sustainability Finance at global agriculture services firm Olam Agri, and she explains how agricultural practices can impact climate change and nature loss and the role smallholder farmers play in sustainable agriculture.     “Climate change is the biggest threat to food security,” Nikita says. “The realization has to happen at scale and not just by a few companies that are more directly impacted. It has to happen at the scale of governments and policymakers. It has to happen at the scale of financial institutions.”   Listen to our podcast episodes from the S&P Global Sustainable1 Summit in London earlier this year:   Why businesses are going ‘back to basics' in sustainability strategies  Why insurance is becoming central to climate risk conversations  How HSBC is financing infrastructure for a low-carbon economy  Learn about energy transition data and services from S&P Global Commodity Insights here.  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.       Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global   DISCLAIMER   By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

In May, I spoke with four leaders who are reshaping what finance can do – and who it can serve.In this compilation episode, I've pulled together the most powerful ideas, turning points, and takeaways from those conversations. If something resonates, you can dive deeper – the links to each full episode are below.Here's the list of featured guests:Nasir Qadree, Founder and Managing Partner of Zeal Capital PartnersNasir launched Zeal in early 2020 – right as the pandemic began. For many, it seemed like the worst possible timing. For him, it was exactly the right moment.He saw a market that wasn't working for most entrepreneurs – and a venture ecosystem that kept recycling capital into the same places, the same profiles, and the same narrow definitions of potential.Zeal's model is built around what Nasir calls “inclusive investing” – a five-part framework designed to widen the lens on where and how capital gets deployed.Full episodeHadewych Kuiper, Managing Director at Triodos Investment ManagementHadewych joined Triodos right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. While other banks were collapsing under the weight of financial engineering, Triodos kept growing – because they weren't in the business of making money with money. Their investments were grounded in the real economy, and that made all the difference.Today, Hadewych leads the firm's €6 billion portfolio across what they call five transition themes: food, resources, energy, society, and well-being.Her mission is bigger than impact investing. It's about transforming the financial sector itself.Full episodeRomina Reversi, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Investment Banking Americas at Crédit Agricole CIBRomina started her career in equity derivatives at J.P. Morgan – a role she calls foundational for everything that came next. But in 2015, she pivoted into a niche team focused on green bonds. She was one of the earliest hires in J.P. Morgan's ESG debt capital markets group, helping to shape the playbook as they went.Now at Crédit Agricole, she leads sustainable investment banking for the Americas – overseeing ESG advisory, green and sustainability-linked financing, and supply chain solutions.Her team helped launch the first U.S. corporate green bond tied to nuclear energy, and structured the world's first sovereign bond with a step-up/step-down coupon tied to emissions and biodiversity targets.Full episodeMichele Giddens, Co-Founder and CEO of Bridges Fund ManagementMichele was asked to advise the UK Treasury's Social Investment Task Force, chaired by Sir Ronald Cohen. That experience led directly to the founding of Bridges, with a white sheet of paper and £10 million in catalytic government funding. The idea: to show that financial returns and social impact didn't have to be at odds.Today, Bridges has over £2 billion in assets under management across private equity, real estate, and outcomes contracts. Every investment aligns with one of two goals: building a more inclusive economy or a more sustainable planet. Their theory of change is simple – use financial capital to tackle systemic challenges, and value creation will follow.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

The energy transition appears to have been a constant back and forth between opportunities and complex regulatory and ESG challenges, and nowhere is this more pertinent than in commodity finance. Trade Finance Global (TFG) spoke with Christine Dirringer, Global Head of Trade and Commodity Finance at Rabobank, about how the industry is evolving to meet these demands.

A question we've been hearing a lot at the All Things Sustainable podcast is: How do businesses sync their climate strategies with their financial decisions?    In this episode, we bring you highlights from an event that dove into this question in detail: The inaugural S&P Global Sustainable1 Climate Summit hosted by the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence.   The center is home to world-class scientists dedicated to addressing the frontiers of long-term climate, environmental and nature research and methodology development. The June 5 Climate Summit in New York City convened many of those scientists alongside financial institutions and industry leaders to talk about translating climate science into actionable insights that inform investment and financial decision-making.  In today's episode we talk to three speakers from the Summit:   -Dr. Terence Thompson, the Chief Science Officer at the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence; he explains the center's work and how it seeks to bridge gaps between stakeholders, including climate scientists, economists and financial institutions.   -Sonja Gibbs, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Finance at the Institute for International Finance, a global network of financial institutions; she explains how IIF members are thinking about climate risks and opportunities.  -Aniket Shah, Managing Director and Global Head of the Sustainability and Transition Strategy team at Jefferies Group; he tells us why financial decision-makers need “data, not vibes” to drive their sustainability strategies.   Listen to recent podcast interviews referenced in today's episode:    Why businesses are going ‘back to basics' in sustainability strategies | S&P Global  How HSBC is financing infrastructure for a low-carbon economy | S&P Global  How EU proposals could change the sustainability reporting landscape | S&P Global  Learn more about the Climate Center of Excellence | S&P Global  This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.    Copyright ©2025 by S&P Global             DISCLAIMER     By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

They explore how professionals, including those in international tax, can overcome ‘learned helplessness' and avoid burnout by embracing purpose, agency, and connectedness.

"Many UAE banks have seen sustainable finance as a profit center", says Vijay Bains, Group Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of ESG at Emirates NBD. In this episode of ESG Currents, Grace Osborne, BI’s ESG integration analyst for EMEA, speaks with Bains about the rising momentum of sustainable finance in the GCC and its intertwinement with the region's economic diversification plans. With UAE's national banks' pledging to mobilize AED 1 trillion in sustainable finance by 2030, alongside strengthened Nationally Determined Contributions, opportunities for capturing sustainable value creation are mounting. From water scarcity solutions to green building initiatives, the GCC is scaling its sustainability ambitions at a time where other regions in the world appear to be stepping back.

My guest is Romina Reversi, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Investment Banking Americas at Crédit Agricole CIB — one of the banks that helped write the very rules of the green bond market, and has stayed near the center of gravity ever since.Romina's path into banking didn't start with a mission to change the world. It started with a love of math — and a drive for precision — that took her from the University of Michigan straight onto JP Morgan's derivatives desk.She worked in equity structuring and sales, building a technical foundation and a strong client ethic. As she puts it, “All bankers know the product. But how do you actually serve your clients? That's the real work.”The pivot came in 2015. Romina took what she describes as a ‘leap of faith.'She moved from derivatives into a new and mostly uncharted part of the bank: ESG debt capital markets. Back then, most CFOs and treasurers hadn't heard of green bonds. Frameworks barely existed. She and a few others were flying around the world with a handful of PowerPoint slides, trying to explain what this market even was.In her own words, “There was no playbook. We were literally inventing how to pitch.”That blank page became her blueprint. Over the next several years, she helped structure more than 500 sustainable debt transactions — including Apple's first green bond and Uruguay's step-up, step-down sustainability-linked bond, the first of its kind in the world.Romina joined Crédit Agricole in 2021. It's a bank with deep roots in agriculture and a reputation as one of the earliest movers in green and sustainable finance. And today, she's building out their Americas operation with the same mix of ambition, nuance, and rigor that brought her success at JP Morgan.For Romina and her bank, sustainability is more than branding — it's ‘truly ingrained in their DNA.'Now leading the Americas team, Romina operates across the entire investment banking suite — bonds, loans, M&A, IPOs, ESG advisory, and beyond.Her mandate isn't just to sell green products. It's to embed sustainable thinking across structures. To know when a KPI isn't credible. To tell a client when the deal they want to do isn't in their best interest.Romina is thoughtful about risk. Transparent about pushback. And unafraid to challenge linear definitions of impact. For her, transparency itself — giving investors a clear view into where their capital is going — is a form of additionally.In a market still grappling with backlash, confusion, and greenwashing fatigue, Romina is defining what credible, innovative, and client-aligned sustainable finance can look like.In this conversation, we talked about using AI for biodiversity tracking, about injecting sustainability into private credit, about financing for nuclear and hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel, and much, much more…Tune in and find out what it means to be a sustainable banker for the next decade — not just a dealmaker, but a translator, a teacher, and a strategist.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Romina Reversi LinkedIn- CA CIB Twitter- CA CIB Website

How has sustainable finance regulation evolved in the past decade? In this episode, Mark Manning, Visiting Senior Fellow at the London School of Economics (LSE), explains how Mark Carney's seminal 2015 speech and the TCFD's 2017 recommendations paved the way for the development of sustainability related disclosure standards.
